He explains, “I found myself in a pattern of being attracted to people who were somehow unavailable, and what I realized was that I was protecting myself because I equated the idea of connection and love with trauma and death.

“I had to do a lot of work on the couch to really get to a place where I was able to show up to a relationship with
someone who was actually capable of being in one – and that took a lot of trial and error.”

Now Quinto is looking to the future and he is keen to have a family of his own one day.
